- snatchmstr, on 06/29/2008, -2/+93It's ironic that not only was this country founded on ignoring copyright law but that was how Hollywood was founded in the first place.
- vsujohn2, on 06/29/2008, -3/+70Rated ARRRRRR!!
- sega01, on 06/29/2008, -1/+62I know which show I will be pirating, er, sharing, in a few months :-).
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -2/+57Reminds me of the movie Hackers. There was a hacker/pirate TV show on there ..."Hack the Planet, Pirate the World"
- Goose31, on 06/29/2008, -1/+52I hope they'll release it through BitTorrent.
- say592, on 06/29/2008, -2/+43Dugg for AWESOMENESS!
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 06/29/2008, -2/+32Not that I ever felt bad pirating, but now I even feel good about it.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -1/+30Rubbish - it was originally going to be a show about ninjas, but ninjas can never be captured on camera.
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -5/+31***** the RIAA?
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -2/+28And just to further ***** with the minds at the RIAA, I'm going to actually PAY for DVDs of this show.
- Greengoo, on 06/29/2008, -3/+26***** the ARRRR IAA.
- burnstyle, on 06/29/2008, -0/+23i think the show was just called
"Hack the planet" - EmitStop, on 06/29/2008, -0/+23Yes, of course.
- diggproof, on 06/29/2008, -5/+27I'll have to DVAAARRRR that
- Greengoo, on 06/29/2008, -0/+20Always
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 06/29/2008, -1/+20I hope they don't. That would just be preaching to the choir. I hope they release it somewhere that people ignorant of what piracy is really about will be able to see it.
- plup, on 06/29/2008, -0/+19Yeah, why not.
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -1/+19Ask our beloved friends in RIAA to watch the show.
202-775-0101. - dudefather, on 06/29/2008, -4/+21looks mostly like a circlejerk for people who want to download ***** for free. I pirate stuff, but I'm not going to pretend I'm some kind of internet crusader who is pushing the boundaries of human society or whatever, I would rather not pay money for things because I am cheap
- jedisushi, on 06/29/2008, -0/+17No it wasn't.
- Phoenixfury, on 06/29/2008, -0/+14FeargusMcDuff is an even more awful commenter.
- socoolisme, on 06/29/2008, -1/+14Sharing is caring.
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -4/+17i thought it was going to be a tv show about actual pirates. it would be cool to have a show about an undercover pirate that just starts out on a real pirate crew. then he makes his way up through trickery, and eventually leading a mutany and becoming captain.
- synergye, on 06/29/2008, -0/+11I hope that they'll also release it on bittorrent.
- Spyke17, on 06/29/2008, -0/+10I personally agree with both of you, i think they should do both
- Aurabolt, on 06/30/2008, -0/+6I always smile when I watch this
=D
http://cristgaming.com/pirate.swf - Atomic1fire, on 06/29/2008, -2/+8Anyone else misread Jesse Alexander as Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld)
- smitas, on 06/29/2008, -1/+7Watch out for your future Pirate Stars!
- Moriko20x6, on 06/29/2008, -1/+7wow, im totally inspired....cant wait
- Sil369, on 06/29/2008, -1/+6What station will it air on??
(please not FOX please not FOX) - boobyman, on 06/30/2008, -0/+5Hello Mr. Obvious.
- Atomic1fire, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5and the real pirates had too much rum to be accepted on television
- FaithclubDotNet, on 06/29/2008, -1/+6The fact that the Internet isn't a library because of copyright holders shows there is a need for pirates.
- completerobot, on 06/29/2008, -1/+6I gotta say, I was kinda let down when I found out that this was about internet pirates.
- Dr3w, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5Ninjas don't need a show, they already have a parade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49fVYmO3yv0
- Cylexis, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5i have no idea why that made me laugh so hard
- teddyrux, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Absolutely agree with that...But assuming they have limited resources and only release it on BitTorrent, it then becomes OUR duty, as the pirates, to help the show become better known through our own personal means. In the same way that you redeem yourself for downloading music by telling your friends about it and going to the concert, you must then teach the non-pirates of the pirate ways and how they should be perceived.
- Lemm, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4so was i :'(
A good (sea) Pirate TV show influenced by Heroes and Lost would be amazing! - boobyman, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4I like Family Guy, Simpsons, American Dad and House. They have good shows but horrible reporters and broadcasters.
- fredJdukes, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Razor and Blade? But they're flakes!
- rayfiend, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3Actually, peaceninja, the Oxford English Dictionary supports the etymology. Here is the excerpt from it:
".....that the word has been evolved from North American Indian corruptions of the word English through Yengees to Yankees (Heckewelder, Indian Nations iii. ed. 1876, p. 77); cf. YENGEES...............Perhaps the most plausible conjecture is that it comes from Du. Janke, dim. of Jan John, applied as a derisive nickname by either Dutch or English in the New England states (J. N. A. Thierry, 1838, in Life of Ticknor, 1876, II. vii. 124). The existence of Yank(e)y,.......
......1683 Cal. St. Papers, Colon. Ser. (1898) 457 They [sc. pirates] sailed from Bonaco..; chief commanders, Vanhorn, Laurens, and Yankey Duch. 1684 Ibid. 733 A sloop..unlawfully seized by Captain Yankey"
It's pretty long, but that's the part that confirms it. It's a pay site; that's why I didn't link it. I'd give the whole etymology, but it's huge. Anyway, I hope that's helpful. Thought I'd share (in the spirit of whole pirate thing -- the OED does actually permit quoting; I just wish everyone had access to it.) - baylat, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3wow, first time I saw many balanced diggs in a single comment.
- Culyt, on 06/29/2008, -0/+3I would totally watch that.
I'm surprised there isn't a pirates of the Caribbean spin off in the works.
☢ - Zylog, on 06/29/2008, -1/+4***** successfully.
Would you like to try again? (Y)es/(N)o/F(ail)/(E)xit to DOS - sfacets, on 06/30/2008, -1/+4Some may call us Pirates, others may call us awesome sharing and caring people.
...Ok stick with Pirate. - Muncher, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2They canceled Futurama. Enough said.
- peaceninja, on 06/29/2008, -4/+6I looked up the etymology of "Yankee" and this video (see what it says starting at 2:30) greatly exaggerates or outlandishly lies about its origins. Makes me wonder what other kinds of things it could be exaggerating. This is disappointing since I really did like the video.
- inactive, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2Fox and Fox News are waaaay too different channels. The Fox entertainment channel is good.
- Spyke17, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2LOL exactly, although he is kinda right, but in the wrong direction. It is not good for the businesses at all, it just usually makes new ones. For example the printing press, was illegal in France, until they kept sneaking the books in, and all the old writers went out of business, and started printing presses.
- Zylog, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2May I be able to "borrow" a copy? :)
to see if it's any good? -
